Chhotto tumi, chhotto ami

I got the inspiration for the poem from one of my friend's tagline in facebook.

Chhotto tumi, chhotto ami
Kede kete aksha.
Na jani Ke sekhalo tore,
Na jani Ke sekhalo more
Kadte kaman kore hoy ta jani.
Chhotto tumi, chhotto ami.

Sagor nodir jol
Bole aksathe chol
Megh theke pora sei bristi ami
Porbo kaman kore ami ta jani.
Kakhono kuasha hoye
Manusher asha hoye
Kakhono bristi hoye nami.
Shiri chhara thik ami namte jani.
Chhotto tumi, chhotto ami.

Sundor subas ei fule
Jageni akhono puro khule
Tobu tar subashei projapoti chole ase
Sundor pakhna ti mele.
Nana ronger projapoti
Ase chole chhuti chhuti
Chole ase thik sei foole.
Map route nei tao
Chole ase thik tao
Kokhono jayna poth bhule.
Ke je sekhalo tore
Ke je sekhalo more
Tara jayni to ar schoole.

Chhotto pipreder dol
Bolchhe je line diye chol
Bina mykei tara
Michhil kore fele
Tobu tar hoy bhari dol.
Kikore sikhlo tara
Shanti te kaj kora
Kar kachhe sikhlo re bol?

Agneogiri akla
Aklai kore chharkhar
Jakhoni kosto hoy
Bhetore kono kichu te
Aklai kore chitkar.
Aklai bojhe she
Aklai khoje se
Kothay shanti achhe tar.
Hajar bochhor dhore
Mora sabe kede mori
Boli Keu koro uddhar.
Sekhaini keu tare
Shakti je tari kachhe
Aklai hobe uddhar.

Annorokom bhongi
Prokriti jar songi
Shei kotha likechi ekhane
Chhotto ektu tar mane.
Chhotto tumi, chhotto ami
Esho mile hoye jai dami........

A Fish

Through the circumstantial sieve

The thoughts on what i grieve

Thoughts so hard to leave

Donot flow.

Through the fisherman critic's net

Belief on what i'd bet

All what i'd firmly state

Wouldnt go.

So again the fish of ugly water

Either has to flee

In the mud only

& dream of the sea

With open eyes.............

May be thro' luck

Will be put in the bowl
With water good, but stale
Still i've to inhale
Too small, too frail
To break the glass may be.

May be then, with the aquarium kid
I'd fall in love
As he nourished n kissed
Me, n then forget the sea.
But he'd go keeping me
Alone in the prison sea.

So how i trust?
That u wont put me to dust?
That u have no lust?
For me?

U'll reach me the sea
Not where the whales n sharks
Scare me?
Fragile my mind, fragile me
So how i trust ye?

Since i'm very big for the net
Will u just pestle me?
So that, subtle i be?
To go to the sea?
But how i allow this grinding of me?
How do i know ye?
Till u show me
I am in the sea.............

The sea of peace n joy
Where i can travel n buoy
Forever in peace
For then m too small a piece
No fear, worry not a bit
For m too small to keep it!!!

I Love The Black Stone

For I love a magic stone

Once a fellow must have thrown.

Named it God, I had known

& I loved the black stone.

Why u love the black stone?

Asked all the friends i knew

Is it magic? Is it great?

Dream of it else, why do u?

Is it super natural?

Can it cure from fatal?

What i lost can it bring?

Can it bring in winter spring?

Why u sing praises of it?

Light of knowledge can it lit?

Why pour water? Why waste milk?

Will it cover my life with silk?

For my heart loves it so

For heavens there not to go

The moment i touch, fills me with joy

Not ever i found anywhere.

Peace and silence fills me in

Love and joy flows within.

So i love the black stone

Magic it has, i have known.

So I Love The China Rose

It reminds me of the place I rose

So I love the china rose.

Deep inside the womb bed

Only lies the blood red

Comes out to give a life this blood

Taking a life not instead.

So I love the china rose

So I love its blood red.

Holy Mother loves the gift

When Her eye does shift

From the glitters n the gold

To Her love red old.

Red the blood She had in

Brought a life Her within

So She loves it as the blood

& She loves the red blood.

She lives where's the china rose

Reminds me the place i rose.

So I love the hibiscus
Where She had brought up us...

A Voice

As a kid I asked my mamma,

"Do u love me?"
She said ya.
But then again,
When I did something she wont love,
She wont love, me too.
So I longed to see the one
The one who loves all.
The flowers of the garden; loved by all
But He'd love the leaves that fall.
A voice said, He'd come.
Even in the lashes of storms,
It'd say He'd come.

SO i went from one to two
Friends & all who called 'em so
Nowhere I found, what i heard
Nothing more than to woe.
Once i asked,
My best friend,
"Do u love me?"
& She said yeah
But nodded as nay.
I donno what she meant
Nor did she lend
The hand when i need
May be was mah fault too, that she wont know
May be for i hated to bleed.

I asked mah master
"U love all
What about me?"
Yeah, he said,
"How auspicious they stay, see,
Pure & pious
Arent u like them too?
What do u say?
The flowers of garden, who not love?"
I silently said,
"The rotten ones, who do love?
One rotten, will rot
None loves the black spot."
Except the one
The voice said.

With that ray of hope I live
I laugh n it smiles
I rejoice n raise mah voice
For this i walk, miles n miles.
I tire, the fire burns
But lits inner light
Amidst the night
And then again i fight.
To see the end,
Whether He'd come, My True Friend?

How Inauspicious Is The Auspicious!

Most inauspicious My Love
Most inauspicious U love
What lies that is auspicious?

All we use all we have
All have been used by some
Hence all are inauspicious.

Plant brings fruits, flowers n seeds
Throws them out & never needs
That we eat & offer U
Thus we live & keep U.
How inauspicious is the auspicious!

Again they take the rotten things
Leaving the fresh for other beings
Fresh for them is really bad
Useless too n makes them sad.
So we eat, what they excrete.

See the smallest ones of all
Who lives to rot them all
But are friends for those who give
Whom the plants need to live.
See how inauspicious they are!

Pious the water what we drink
Ganges water's pious we think
The waters we use, had been used
That a body must have left.
The most pious is inauspicious.

Oh! The inauspicious of all
All auspicious to U must fall.
Yet U are inauspicious
They reamin auspicious
How inauspicious is the auspicious, My Love.
How auspicious is the inauspicious, My Love.


[In Hinduism there are two different ways to achieve realisation, the right handed way or the auspicious way(right hand is considered as auspicious) & the left handed way or the inauspicious way(left hand is considered inauspicious). This left handed way mainly consists of Aghora & tantric rites & processes. The crude & the knife-edged path(kshuradharasya pantha) of tantra n aghora are considered to be faster ways to realisation because the primary necessity here is to detach from everything.
For those who are interested are requested to check the books of Aghora series by Robert.B.Svobodha.]

Eye-Camera

Oh! What a camera this Man has made
Of innumerable pixels
Thousand GBs storage
& a warranty of lifetime!

Oh! What do I call this Man of grace?
Just a second we need to edit
The audios & videos we store,
& Insert millions of emotions!

And it works in every mode
With so many shades n colours
& Lights dim or night
The pictures it casts are fabulous.

And lo! So minute exposure it needs!
Of fraction of second may be
Till we see,
The masterpiece He made for us.

What should I call it now?
May be the eye-camera?
Or the I-camera?
Or My-camera?
Just remembered,
Even a penniless man has it!

Oh! Now i am jealous of this Man.
It takes years to produce a piece
& he made the masterpieces in 7 days?
Oh! How could He???

Oh! What colours He used in the canvas of space?
We even cant copy it's image
& get oscars n nobels,
& people call us great scientists n artists? Huh!

Shouldnt we be ashamed of us now
To destroy the beauty
Which we see
But couldnt reproduce
In past, present &
May be in future too.......

Why?

In this beautiful Self sky
The cloud thoughts remain, why?
I asked my Lord.

If I am to only be
Why feel pain, joy in glee?

If You are the place to go
Why You create this ego?

If I am only here
How others bring me fear?

If others are also me
Why cant I really see?

My Lord answered
Because u dont want to see
What really are in ye.

When u'll wish so without fear
Only this thought remaining clear

When I be your only dear
I shall come to your near.

Till then,
Have patience
With My remembrance,
Love all
Even if u fall,

Till I come for u
N' u go with me
To the abode of
Peace, joy n' non-duality.......

Question

As alms, the man his cows gave
When his son asked in voice grave,
"Why the cows you're giving are old,
The best to give are in stories told?"

The next part we all know
& That's how the myth to go.
The kid was sent to Lord of Death
To whom he asked, "At last breath
What dies?"
The Lord of Death was taken aback
& Failed to give an answer back
& Thus goes the story of heroic child
Nachiketa's questions remain alive.

The most innocent questions asked
Unveils all that stand masked.

I was happy till I learnt
The biggest storm, the hardest word- "WHY".

That day on my friends were foes
& That's how my story goes
Parents, teachers went away
& All what really I would say
Was, "Thank God"
For showing me they were not my Lord.

When I asked my Master the same
Silence was all that remained
Whom I revered once so much
By a word was washed away.
All I did say was "Thank God"
For showing me he was not my Lord.

Since when I started to ask WHY
Blizzards & tempests swayed my life
The funny part is:
For whomsoever would I ask This "why"
Always stood against me, not by!

May be they wanted to have peace
Like I had before asking these
Before the storm of "why" arose
While I slept, till I rose.

Then I met this man of grace
For whom I was to be amazed.
Once had lived this life of "why"
First time someone stood me by.

He knew
How to stop this tempest of why
With another question "Who am I?"
So today I ask
"Oh my beloved God,
Art Thou my true Lord"?

So Many Killers, But...

One kills for property
One kills for name
Another one kills to hide
The family's shame.

One kills by law
One without
One kills just to
Clear his doubt.

One kills for love
One for he hates
Some kill others
To remember dates!

One kills for money
One just for fun
One out of anger
For no homework's done.

Some kill men
For cows to save
Some for loving
Are put to grave.

One kills for drawing
Our Portrayer's pic
One kills anyone
Tom, Harry/ Dick.

One kills by driving
One for sex
A passion for killing
Is all it takes.

One keeps bullets
Just to kill men
Another one just takes
A fountain pen!

So many murderers
But no one to go
And kill the biggest Devil
His own ego.

Asol Nakol

Asol sona chhiloi jakhan kachhe

Road to realization goes through Hell

It's not the place where the angels dwell
The road to realisation goes through Hell.

The path is full of thorns & stone
Paved by the one my dear & own.

Once pretty gardens of flowers nice
There's now monsters, dangers, vice.

Oh! Men those always seemed so good
Now, Like high walls before me stood.

Place where i played with balls of mud
Sprinkled me now with stains of blood.

All those who had called me friend
Showed me the Hell-way at the end.

Same place, same men, all remained
Just for me the scenario changed.

Just then a voice spoke to me
"I have only choosen ye".

"See it's just a video game
Where everyone fights for name & fame".

"A sword I give with My name stud
Hold it till your last drop of blood".

"Return to thy past, if u may
Just "Alas" can all I say".

I just asked Him, "But, then what if I fall"?
He smiled & said, "Road to realisation is not for all".

"When it'll be too cold to bear
Sweater of My name u must wear".

"If there be too much of heat
Remember My small cool feet".

"Whenever u feel hunger & thirst
My name will be ur food first."

"Leave all, everything that's fake
Finding Me is just a piece of cake".

"Hundred percent love pure
Must u have to endure".

"I must say, I choose u, but you may not
Would u like to have another thought"?

I replied, "None I knew when I came
Relatives, friends, name or fame".

"Everything I got was Thine
Today, Let me find what's mine".

Bholash Na Re Bhola (Dont let me forget)

(Oh! My dear Forgetful one, dont let me forget.
Oh! The most Forgetful one, dont let me forget.

In the days of pleasure I even love to forget U &
In the days of pain I cry & get hold of Your feet.
Oh! The most Forgetful one, dont let me forget.

Why do U allow me to forget? Why cant U remind me?
Dont U really know that my mind always tries to forget?
Oh! The most Forgetful one, why do U let me forget? Dont let me forget.

Seeing the guise of snake I believe i found gold, silver or gems
Leaving the real gold(U) then I search for the imitation of them.
Oh! The most Forgetful one, dont let me forget.

Seeing the make-ups of people i feel they are my friends
But U, the one who's my real friend dont have any make-up
Oh! The most Forgetful one, why do u let me forget? Dont let me forget.

U just give ur sweet smile, whenever I love someone
Love is very bitter for all, except for U the one.
Oh! The most Forgetful one, dont let me forget.)

Ashtamurti: The 8 idols.

Oh! Sarva with patience of the soil
To find u hard & harder lemme toil.
How much be the heat or rain
Wrap me in your patient foil.

Oh! Shiva's Ganges water i use
Shower thy purity & wash my sin.
Oh! my beloved Bhava I'm not clean.
Make me pure & perfectly clean.

Oh! Rudra with the flames of fire
Put my wrongs on thy pyre.
When i feel thy lovely touch
The burns u give is nothing such.

Oh! Ugra the lashing storm
Floating dust & lightning frown.
Let me feel thy immense love,
U've come to make me your own.

Oh! Bhima the sky high
Nothing's left to feel a sigh
See the biggest roof i have
Under this lemme die.

Oh! Great devotee Pashupati
You come to me to worship Thee.
Folding your palms here U bow
When all is there is within thee.

Oh! The one of Mahadev name
Shining like the night sky moon
The cool, calm but high fame
Giving us Thy glowing boon.

Oh! The hot Sun Ishaan
Burn me to be just one
The one that unites with u
Let there be no more two.

(Oh! The sailor mind, let me sink in this sea of bliss.

U've taken me from this shore to that & yet everytime u made a mistake. So dont stop me now. Let me sink in this sea of bliss.

The one u think is very difficult why do u search on the shores? The one which is the last destination of all destinations dont push aside that with your row anymore.
let me sink in this sea of bliss.

Dont fear the waves anymore, once u sink the waves are defeated. Dont float with these waves named "samsar" Oh the sailor mind.
let me sink in this sea of bliss.

The one u call an endless sea has infinite gems inside. Dont forget that my sailor mind. let me sink in this sea of bliss.)
